Latest Glastonbury weather forecast

With Glastobury still a couple of weeks away, the Met Office forecast for the week, focusing more broadly on the UK as a whole, is still understandably tentative.

However, it does offer some cause for hope for the 135,000 people set to descend on Worthy Farm, with the cautious prediction of “drier, more settled spells” than the distinctly un-summery early June conditions.

The latest Met Office forecast reads: “The forecast through this period is very uncertain.

“Presently the preferred solution is for some spells of unsettled weather to effect the UK through the period, although probably interspersed with more in the way of drier, more settled spells than during the previous period.

“Winds should mostly be light, with temperatures generally recovering to around normal for the time of year.”

The BBC’s weather forecast, which is generated by MeteoGroup, extends only to the start of the week of the festival, when it is predicting temperatures of 21C and lightly cloudy conditions.

Accuweather, however, offers a more optimistic outlook with its long-range forecast, which predicts dry weather across the five-day period.

According to the US service, festival-goers can expect a cloudy start on the Wednesday and Thursday, giving way to sunnier conditions as the weekend begins, with temperatures hovering around 19C for the duration.
